It was around five pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Dan and me were resting there commenting on the recent footy results, prepared for the 6th fuel drain of the day to arrive. In due time we received the call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Walford Heath and put the wrong fuel in a diesel faithful Mazda323 rental. She was rather irritated it seemed, saying "I just can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to worry, and also that these things unfortunately can happen.

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Walford Heath (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up the car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill your car or truck. They will take care of any of the most common troubles that may come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Shropshire we have noticed increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to motorists not knowing the right way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In the case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly don't start up the car - not even to move it away from the pump. In case you did start the car you will in all probability have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Any time you discover yourself to be in this scenario do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our engineers possess the specialised skills and experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

  1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
  3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
  4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
